For those figures you probably would have beenbetter off buying a GTR. The extra cost of the GTR would have been more but it would have cost a hell of a lot less to obtain that kind of power figure.

Take it to RE Customs in Springvale and tell Ray you want 300 rwkw and dont car how much it costs. He'll love ya :banana:

word of advice ....start saving... keep all those 5cents pieces, go rob a wishing well, they got plenty of them

i spent a whole lot more then what people have been saying to achieve that kinda power.. but boy is it worth it when u take it for a spin

300kW at the wheels.

Is this going to be a weekend car or everyday car? Cuz it might be abit of a nightmare to drive...

Anyway I'd start with

High flow panel filter or pod

Front mount intercooler

Turbo back exhaust

Lightweight flywheel, single heavy duty clutch.

300rwkw isnt that hard to drive.

I drove daily @ 270rwkw, and then 370rwkw for a while...

I gotta admit it was interesting, but i wouldnt call it hard to drive if you aren't silly :)

I've been putting around with a choked 250rwkw a while ago (before choking was upped) and it honestly feels lazy to me... you sorta get used to it.

I don't get this whole 'hard to drive thing'

its not a V8...it won't be putting out anywhere near its top power without the input from the driver....I drive my car everyday, and could easily keep it off boost completely if I wanted too, without a lot of effort....can only imagine that its even easier as the size of the turbo increases...

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
